(Photo: defense.gov)Retired US Marine General John Allen, special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter the Islamic State (ISIS) terror organization, has confirmed that the coalition forces are preparing a ground assault against ISIS in “the coming weeks.”“When the Iraqi forces begin the ground campaign to take back Iraq, the coalition will provide major firepower associated with that,” he told Petra, Jordan’s official news agency, stressing that the Iraqis would lead the offensive. Allen talked about 12 divisions numbering thousands of soldiers who would enter the fray.Speaking to ABC News on Monday, Allen warned of ISIS’ capabilities. ISIS is “better organized [than al-Qaeda]. It’s command and control is better.”He said that ISIS’ decision to murder Jordanian pilot Lt. Moaz al-Kasaesbeh by burning him alive has backfired, making the coalition more determined than ever to destroy the terror group.Asked whether ISIS was a threat to the US home front, Allen said, “We should take it very seriously.”Jordan Determined to Destroy ISISISIS DabiqISIS terrorists.

Obama rejects King of Jordan’s pleas for predator drones to use against the Islamic State (ISIS)The Obama Regime turned down a request from Jordan for Predator spy drones that would help it locate targets in the war against the Islamic State.Washington Times The refusal, disclosed by a House Armed Services Committee member, has gained attention since Jordan has emerged as a critical player in a U.S.-led coalition to destroy the Islamist terrorist group in the days after it released a video of its execution by fire of a captured Jordanian military pilot.Jordan retaliated Thursday with F-16 airstrikes on the Syrian town of Raqqa and is vowing a relentless war against the Islamic State, also known as ISIL and ISIS. Members of Congress are calling on the White House to approve a list of weapons for King Abdullah II, a strong U.S. ally.Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, sent a letter Thursday asking President Obama to approve the transfer of the Predator’s unarmed export version for surveillance missions.“Don’t worry, King, we’ve got your back. How many do you need?”“The decision to deny the license request should be reversed immediately,” Mr. Hunter wrote. “Doing so will provide Jordan critical mission capability in the fight against the Islamic State and ensure Jordan is given every advantage.“Jordan has made requests for specific resources, including ammunition,” Mr. Hunter said. “Given our mutual interests, and our strong relationship, it’s absolutely critical that we provide Jordan the support needed to defeat the Islamic State.”
